Affected: enterprise_server

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before enterprise_server

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy notifylink || rpm -q notifylink || notifylink --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before enterprise_server (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison notifylink sudo apt install notifylink=<VERSION_BEFORE_enterprise_server> sudo apt-mark hold notifylink

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list notifylink sudo dnf downgrade notifylink-<VERSION_BEFORE_enterprise_server> sudo dnf versionlock add notifylink

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
